Hi Everyone,
When downloading a full node wallet, if you want your syncing to be faster, you will need to download the bootstrap file separately.
In some cases you will also need to download and install the zcash parameters. Pirate Chain First Mate Kaks, has put together a list of instructions to make your journey easier.
How To Install The Bootstrap
Windows

The – character in the scripts should be changed with –. Me and a friend were having problems with this.
Haha it seems to be the website doing it. I mean to say two dashes. “- -” without the space.
Do you guys have a tutorial on how to set up a Pirate Chain Wallet for Windows desktop. Maybe like a video, I am a moron when it comes to computers.
I downloaded the Ocean wallet and I installed the bootstrap file etc and my load up time is still forever. The instructions get a little fuzzy at times but I finally figured out how to get the blocks and chainstate in the PIRATE Folder but again the loading time is as long as the first load up time of about 24 hours. Any idea’s as to whats the problem?
i would love to buy some arrr but this is too complicated for me to get the wallet download and extract bootstrap zcash cmd sapling sprout
It timed out by peer reset. What does that mean? It still taking a very long time. curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
blocks/blk00037.dat: (Empty error message)
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
The syncic of the walet has been more than 12h by now, and progress is minimal. Less than 1%.
Please advise.
Do you have an email address to get in touch with you? I joined the Telegram chanel but I am blocked.
Right now it forecast

Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 8151M 0 17.3M 0 0 7049 0 14d 00h 0:42:59 14d 00h 0
14 DAYS? that is not possible.
If I install the light walet, can I move the crypto that is now sent to a key in the ocean walet to the light walet? I thought if I have the walet set up I am ok. But that is not possible to keep this thing going for 14 days.
I attempted to dowload the bootstrap file, but after 7h of dowloading, it failed and just stopped. The bootstrap upload via the terminal also clocked out after 7h, again reset by peer. How can I get the wallet synced?
Hi there, New guy here……just tried downloading the treasure chest so I can buy some Pirate Chain everything seemed to be going fine. …but at the end while trying to import the spending and viewing keys, I got the warning. “ERROR IMPORTING KEY. INVALID KEY!!!” PLEASE HELP. I AM ON A MAC OS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Please read the instructions and the watch the video on the Treasure Chest wallet page.
I am having the same thing happen. Running Linux. Treasure Chest is installed. Saved my keys to usb sticks. But when I try to import keys it says invalid. I watched the video. I did everything. Are all the Debug steps and import steps moot with Chest vs. Ocean? Am I ready to send funds to my address with it saying invalid key upon trying to import. PS. if I copy the keys from the zs1 address and put them in it says keys already exist. But then try to import and it says invalid?
Hi Guys.
Thanks for putting that many tutorials and videos out there.
I just downloaded the full node wallet (pirate-qt-win.exe)
I don’t find your video tutorial clear enough:
How do I import an existing wallet from seed?
Why would I import a spending key? What is a spending key?
And I just downloaded the bootstrap file as explained – AND THEN?
Not explained… sorry, you put a lot of work in it, but still I can’t understand it from the given information.
Would love to have a Telegramm Channel, Forum or your support where I could post these questions..
Would you help please?
Hey did you find help on this? I am in the same boat. downloaded wallet and it says 2 years to sync.
I downloaded Treasure Chest and bootstrap.
I have absolutely no idea what to do.. it says it will take 2 years to sync… did i just lose my coins?
PLEASE HELP
Hi I’m trying to get my Android mobile version of the wallet to sync because it’s been sitting at syncing 0.00% since I’ve noticed I’ve not been able to send any coins yesterday.
I was going to install the bootstrap but there is not a instruction list for Android what’s my best option please
The bootstrap is not available for Android. Please check the specifications of your phone.
